It's easy to get used to the sights around here, but I realize how different they are than back home. So here are some pictures to give you an idea.
 |
| A typical street |
 |
| A neighborhood park |
 |
| The local mosque |
 |
| The sidewalks here are much more interesting. |
 |
| Yep, just a medieval stone gate there |
 |
| Bab Rouah and a main road leading into town |
 |
| Heading towards the center of town |
 |
| high-class |
 |
| Arabic, French, and Tamazight |
 |
| A normal street sign in Arabic and French |
 |
Another functional street sign, though not quite official.
It's the Arabic in the middle (زنقة آم الربيع). |
Whether or not you choose to call it graffiti, there is always something interesting written on the wall.
 |
| "No parking." This one is painted ominously all over, and usually disregarded. |
 |
| No littering. Or else... |
 |
| No urinating here. Thank you. |
 |
| The national motto: God, Country, King. |
 |
| yup |
 |
| Things look different in Salé. This is what much of the countryside is like as well. |
 |
The new tram system is very useful for getting from Agdal to
the Centre-Ville, the medina, and Salé. |
Hi! I love your blog. I've applied to YES Abroad with Morocco as my fourth choice, but now I'm thinking of moving it to first. By any chance could I ask you some questions about Morocco? Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteI'd be happy to answer your questions. Alumni of the program are meant to be a main resource, and I'll try to help if I can.
I couldn't find any alumni, and I'd rather not wait until the IPSE (if I'm accepted D: ), so I figured you'd be my next best option.
